Chapter 58 first quarter

A black car was driving on a dark mountain path. The sky was so dark that there was not even a single starlight. The mountains and ridges in the distance were like ink stains, almost connecting with the dark sky. If it weren't for the headlights of the car shining ahead, it would be impossible to move an inch.But the driver who drove the car seemed to be very familiar with this place, driving the car around the mountains with ease. This place is already located in the mountains in the northeast suburb of Beiping City, about three or four hours' drive from Duan Shizhang's mansion.

The car was full of people, and Zhang Xian was squeezed between the back seats by two burly men in black suits. A gun was always pressed against Zhang Xian's waist, unable to move.Butler Liu sat in the front co-pilot's seat, staring at the road ahead without saying a word. The car drove past a mountain ridge, and a huge wooden sign was erected on the side of the road, with eight large black characters written on it: "Privately owned land, trespassers will die", and after a while, there were layers of roadblocks on the road. Live, can't move forward.A few big men with live ammunition jumped out from the side of the road, dressed in military uniforms that looked neither like soldiers nor bandits, and they were dressed a little strangely. Butler Liu.

These "soldiers" hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, shouting: "Guan Liu!" Steward Liu pointed to the roadblock, and the "soldiers" understood, stepped forward to remove the roadblock, stood by the side of the road to salute, and watched the car pass by. Going forward for another three to four hundred meters, turning around a road junction, suddenly appeared a valley with three sides of high cliffs and one side of a slope. Countless, you can vaguely see someone on the wall standing at the sentry post with a gun in hand.If you want to say whose private house this is, it doesn't look like it at all, but more like a heavily guarded prison.

Butler Liu sneered, turned to Zhang Xian and said, "Mr. Zhang, we're here! Hongde Pavilion, has Mr. Zhang heard of it?" Zhang Xian shook his head and said expressionlessly: "What did you bring me here for?" Butler Liu snorted, "Let you live here for the rest of your life, hehehehe!" On the surface, Hongde Pavilion is a secret house of Duan Shizhang, but in fact it is a secret prison set up by Duan Shizhang to detain those who oppose him.Not only did the Beiyang government not dare to intervene in this matter, it even helped the evildoers to detain some anti-government people here.The Hongde Pavilion is a dark place that is outside the laws of the country. If it is locked inside, there will be no justice and fairness at all.The Hongde Pavilion is located in a valley with three cliffs, and there is only one exit. It is heavily guarded, and no one has ever escaped from it.

The car stopped in front of the big house in the valley, and someone ran up immediately, opened the door, and greeted Steward Liu and his party. Zhang Xian was pushed out of the car. He looked up and saw a huge black plaque hanging above the two black lacquered gates, on which was written in big blood red characters - Hongde Hall! Butler Liu said to Zhang Xian with a sinister smile, "Mr. Zhang, please!" The guard of the Hongde Pavilion gave Zhang Xian a hard push, pushed Zhang Xian to a stagger, and cursed: "Go!" Zhang Xian stood still, without any intention of resisting, and was pushed into the gate by people.

After entering the gate of the Hongde Pavilion, I saw that there is an inner courtyard inside the Hongde Pavilion, forming a huge "Hui" shape.The wall of the inner courtyard is nearly one meter higher than the outer courtyard, and the wall is covered with barbed wire, which should prevent people from climbing over the wall and escaping. Although he couldn't see the scene in the inner courtyard, Zhang Xian couldn't help but feel a tight feeling in his heart because of the strong oppressive feeling over the inner courtyard. Several large braziers were lit in the outer courtyard, illuminating the surroundings brightly. There were a few ordinary houses scattered in the outer courtyard in a haphazard manner, and the dim lights from the rooms made this place look even more eerie and gloomy.

A thin and wretched man was driven out from a room and ran towards Butler Liu. Before he got close, he nodded and bowed and shouted: "Guard Liu! Guanye Liu! You're here! I couldn't even go Picking you up at the intersection is really a crime!" This man is the so-called curator Ding Laoqi of the Hongde Pavilion, a heinous villain who is in charge of guarding the Hongde Pavilion. Butler Liu raised Yang's eyebrows and snorted, "Ding Lao Qi, you're in good spirits today!" Ding Laoqi smiled obsequiously, and said, "It's all thanks to Guanye Liu and Master Duan! Guanye Liu, please."

Butler Liu hummed: "Ding Laoqi, I have invited you a distinguished guest. He is very famous! Zhang Xian, do you know? Do you want to neglect him!" Ding Laoqi looked at Zhang Xian who was behind Butler Liu, his eyes flashed fiercely, but when he turned his head to look at Butler Liu, he immediately changed into a slave and said, "Yes! Yes! Guanye Liu, you Don't worry! No matter who it is, I will treat everyone equally." Butler Liu chuckled twice and said, "Okay!" They escorted Zhang Xian into a huge room and handcuffed Zhang Xian to an iron frame.Butler Liu and a few men in suits who came in the same car did not follow in, but went to other places.In the room, there were only a few vicious guards sitting aside, watching Zhang Xian.

Ever since Zhang Xian entered the Hongde Pavilion, he kept his lips tightly shut, kept silent, and showed no resistance. If he didn't see his eyes, it would be as if Zhang Xian had become insensitive, and they let them deal with them.Several guards in the room looked at Zhang Xian maliciously, whispered to each other, and laughed mockingly from time to time. Steward Liu and Ding Laoqi had some words to say, and left Zhang Xian here to be dealt with by Ding Laoqi, left the Hongde Pavilion quickly, and went back to the city to report to Duan Shizhang. Not long after, Ding Laoqi came back swaggeringly, and yelled as soon as he entered the room: "Untie this Zhang, and take off all his clothes! Check it out and lock him in!"

The guards responded yes, came up and untied Zhang Xian, tore Zhang Xian's clothes fiercely, and cursed: "Take off!" Zhang Xian struggled hard, threw the guard away, pointed at himself, and motioned for him to come. The guard scolded: "Hey! Where do you think this is? How dare you resist!" He waved his baton and was about to hit Zhang Xian. Ding Laoqi snorted: "Let him take it off by himself! Mr. Liu Guanye explained, be more polite to him!" The guards just gave up and stepped aside. Zhang Xian took off his clothes and was ordered by the guards to lie down by the wall. His whole body was checked carefully, and nothing suspicious was found.

Ding Laoqi has been rummaging through Zhang Xian's clothes, but found nothing except a few paper money.Ding Laoqi cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, I don't believe that he is a poor ghost!" He still quickly stuffed a few dollars into his trouser pocket. The guard came to report: "Director Ding! After the search, there is nothing on him!" Ding Laoqi scolded: "No? Have you searched carefully? This Zhang is a juggler, don't let him bring in hidden things!" The guard replied: "Search carefully, search carefully, there is no foreign matter in the flesh, and the crotch has been pinched! The teeth in the mouth have also been knocked out one by one. There are no dentures, and there is nothing hidden in the mouth or throat." Ding Laoqi took a few glances at Zhang Xian, walked over shaking his head, and said, "Guan Liu has never missed a surprise attack to arrest people. I guess you have great abilities, and there is no time to make preparations!" Zhang Xian stood with his hands down, his eyes were cold, and he didn't say a word. Ding Laoqi tilted his head and said: "The eyes are quite evil! Hehe, Zhang Xian, a magician, a big celebrity, did you never think that you have today?" Zhang Xian said nothing. Ding Laoqi scolded: "You are really interesting. On the first day other prisoners came here, they would either cry, lose their temper, or talk nonsense. I have never seen you so silent. Do you think so?" Do you know where this is? What is this place for?" Zhang Xian shook his head. "Okay! You're really good! Everyone in the Hongde Pavilion has been shut down, and it's the first time to shut down jugglers. Are jugglers like you?" Zhang Xian didn't say anything. "Cut!" Ding Laoqi snorted, but he couldn't think of anything else to say. He looked up and down Zhang Xianjian's sturdy figure, and noticed that his chest, abdomen and arms were densely covered with large and small scars, and asked : "Why do you have so many injuries?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Xian slowly opened his mouth and said, "This is my injury from practicing magic."
